A chance to start over means risking her heart.
Twenty-five years after her mother dragged her from Fog’s Edge, Shelby Barrett returns at the request of her grandfather’s executor. The terms of the will are very specific and include Shelby taking on a leadership role in the community – a role not everyone is happy to have an outsider fill. With a vote that could impact the future of Fog’s Edge on the horizon, Shelby must decide if staying in town is really what she wants. And the very tempting chief of police is making that decision more difficult.
After years away serving his country, Stone Childers has returned to Fog’s Edge and settled into a comfortable life. As chief of police, the most danger he faces is keeping the tourists safe from wildlife – and himself safe from cougars of a different kind. When the granddaughter of an old friend returns to town, his comfortable life is turned on its end.
Fog’s Edge is embattled in a fight for its future. Opposing sides bring bitter family battles to the table. Perhaps a little new blood is what is needed, especially if it can unite long-time rivals.
What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
The idea for this book came to me while driving to my grandfather’s funeral. I was crossing the mountains just outside Knoxville when I encountered a fog so thick that I couldn’t see the end of the hood of my car. It was dark and misting outside, which made my headlights reflect the fog instead of penetrating through it. I was literally going 35 on a major interstate, and I was the only car around for miles. I’d recently read an article about the history of Native Americans in Tennessee – the state name is actually from a Native word. Well, as is common, the two combined themselves and morphed into the story for Fog’s Edge.
